Drunk Driving Accidents in Pennsylvania

For many victims and families, there is little consolation for the pointless and preventable loss that a drunk driving accident can bring. Still, a successful lawsuit for compensation can bring:

  • A sense of closure and fairness.
  • Needed compensation to pay for diminished earning capacity, lost wages, medical expenses and/or long-term care.
  • A sense that, by seeking a resolution, a future drunk driving accident may have been prevented.

The personal injury attorneys of Metzger & Kleiner are committed to providing the caring and results-driven legal help so often needed following a DUI accident. We have helped innocent pedestrians, drivers and their passengers as well as the passengers of drunk drivers obtain the compensation they deserve. This compensation can be in the form of:

  • Compensatory damages, which is awarded for actual harm and loss, such as pain, disability, expenses and wrongful death.
  • Punitive damages, which are designed to punish negligent individuals and to deter others.

To obtain the full compensation we know our clients deserve, we often pursue payment from all possible sources, including our clients’ own insurers via uninsured and underinsured insurance. We also pursue, when appropriate, compensation provided by our state’s Dram Shop laws. Dram Shop laws hold bars, restaurants and other sellers of alcohol responsible when they negligently serve alcohol. We recently recovered the full policy limits following a drunk driving accident in which a young mother was killed.

When a drunk driver strikes, make sure he or she is held accountable under the law and that an experienced attorney advocates for your full rights. Contact Metzger & Kleiner for a no-charge consultation by calling 1-800-228-1760.
